Astrato Reviews & Product Details

Astrato redefines what cloud-native Business Intelligence should look like. What sets it apart from any other BI tool I've worked with is its true direct query capability against Databricks: not a cached approximation, not a scheduled refresh, but real-time pushdown processing that leverages the full computational power of your Databricks clusters. This is a fundamental architectural difference that changes everything.

I have been working in n near-real-time (NRT) data projects, where this approach is invaluable. When your data is moving fast, you cannot afford the stale snapshots that traditional BI tools rely on. Astrato lets you query your Gold layer directly, meaning the intelligence sits where your data sits, in Databricks.

The fact that it is built cloud-native from the ground up is also a huge differentiator. There's no legacy baggage, no on-premise DNA that was awkwardly adapted to the cloud. It was designed for modern data architectures like the Lakehouse and medallion patterns, and it shows in every interaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a newer tool, the documentation doesn't always cover the more advanced use cases, and the community is still small compared to the big players. You do end up having to reach out to their support more than you would with a mature product. The flip side is that their support team is actually really responsive, they get back to you quickly and with proper answers, not just generic troubleshooting steps. So it's a limitation that in practice hasn't caused us major headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Astrato stands out as a remarkably intuitive platform that strikes an excellent balance between flexibility and powerful data analysis capabilities. It enables users to explore and visualize data freely while still maintaining strong analytical depth and precision, so you don’t have to trade ease of use for rigorous insights.

At times, the platform offers a wide range of interactive options that can feel overwhelming, especially when there isn’t clear, comprehensive documentation explaining the purpose and behavior of certain interactions. More contextual guidance within the product would go a long way toward making the experience easier to navigate and improving the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very flexible tool with a lot of potential to create new tools beyond simple dashboards. Application customization opens the possibility of building different types of data application allowing a new type of interactive analytics. Semantic layers are always useful and powerful in most cases. The team behind it is always available to help and improve the product as well as being very capable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like all new software, it has small bugs and missing features (at least for Databricks), but the team makes an effort to build faster and fix any problem. This problem will be solved with more customers and the natural maturity of the tool.

Extreme customization comes at a price, which is the increase in time it takes to create a dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool provides additional flexibility when sharing data with business users, allowing them to access more data on a regular basis and without the restrictions of going via a data team.

It's also been really helpful to work with the team at Astrato, who are able to support on best practice and help us to use the tool better. Hands on workshops have been very helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a new tool, Astrato can sometimes be quite "buggy", impacting use and making things harder to release. While the team are receptive and often try to fix things quickly, it impacts data team reputation. While fully appreciating Astrato is still relatively new, it's not something I have ever experienced with established tools such as Tableau or Looker.

Alongside bugs, again as the tool is still being developed, you'll sometimes find it more difficult to do something than in an established tool, but it's great that the team are willing to add to their backlog.

Astrato has been sold as a no code app, which is great for accessibility, however as a coder, and manager of a team of coders, sometimes it's quicker and easier to code something rather than lots of drop and drag and clicking.

Also ctrl-Z doesn't work to undo things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dynamic analytics dashboards that comfortably reach data-application levels of functionality. Exceptional customer support, fast UI performance, and straightforward integration with data warehouses. Easy to scale users and permissions. Flexible enough to start simple while supporting deeper technical workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are aspects of design controls which are yet to be perfected, so the aesthetic design experience can be a bit clunky. Whilst the environment is low code it still requires robust analyst / engineering / data modelling experience to get high quality products built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pixel-perfect visualizations that consistently impress our executive team. The write-back and action features are highly valued, and it’s very intuitive to build advanced data apps for both technical and non-technical users. Team is great and the support is unheard of - feels like my questions are answered instantly. The scheduled reporting and alerting features are also fantastic. Astrato solves many of my problems at a very competitive price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not many downsides. Sometimes I'll face rendering issue but rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Astrato as a BI solution for dashboarding with multiple clients migrating from obsolete technologies to a modern stack. I find Astrato to be a no-code, fast, and intuitive solution that doesn't require a big technical background, allowing my team to implement BI solutions easily. The thing I like the most is its modern solution for dashboarding, which everyone can use with little to no technical background. This opens up opportunities for professionals outside of the IT world, like those in marketing or human resources, to develop and deliver solid solutions without learning a programming language. I also appreciate its various integrations with data warehousing technologies, which make Astrato applicable to multiple clients regardless of the data warehouse technology they use. This provides a common platform for non-technical users to manipulate data, understand it, and derive valuable insights. It's very easy to set up Astrato, and we've noticed a huge productivity enhancement as non-technical users with deep business knowledge can better understand their data and extract valuable insights.

I think that its major advantage is also a small disadvantage in the sense that it is very intuitive and easy to implement solutions but when you work with very big tables or complicate models I would like to have more control over the queries that Astrato launches against the warehouse. For example, in many cases we have bi-directional relationships in the data model and it is a bit complicated to make Astrato make the right choice creating the queries when this situation happens without changing the data model that consumes.

Astrato Analytics is a modern analytics platform built for real-time, data-driven decisions. It works directly with cloud data, so insights are always up to date and consistent, without relying on data copies or manual refreshes.

The platform is easy to use, enabling business users to explore data and build dashboards through a self-service, no-code experience. Strong visualizations, shared metrics, and AI-assisted insights help teams get answers quickly and align on the same numbers.

Astrato also goes beyond reporting by supporting interactive and embedded analytics, making it well suited for both internal teams and customer-facing applications. Overall, it’s an incredibly strong choice for organizations looking for fast, reliable, and actionable analytics at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Given its combination of live analytics, self-service ease, and advanced features, Astrato currently stands out as one of the best choices on the market when you consider the value it delivers relative to its cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Astrato has given us speed and flexibility. Time-To-Market was really important to us. The no-code environment means we can meet constantly changing customer requirements without long development cycles. Whitelabeling and embedding are seamless, so our clients experience analytics as part of our platform. And the visuals are stunning—interactive dashboards that actually elevate our product experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is still evolving, so there are areas of the self-service UI that could be more intuitive. But we’ve seen continuous improvements, and the support from the Astrato team has been world-class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its high versatility makes it well suited for handling complex tasks.

I appreciate the resource savings from sending queries directly to the database, without needing to store information in an intermediate layer. On top of that, the way it lets you build entire projects feels intuitive, using simple yet highly generalizable concepts like actions and variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some small bugs, understandable for a relatively new BI tool.

Also the way to collaborate several individuals on the same project could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
